import java.io.DataInput;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.EOFException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;


An abstract subclass of java.io.InputStream that allows seeking
within the input, similar to the RandomAccessFile class.
Additionally, the DataInput interface is supported and extended
to include support for little-endian representations of fundamental data
types.

 In addition to the familiar methods from InputStream, the
methods getFilePointer(), seek(), are defined as in
the RandomAccessFile class.  The canSeekBackwards()
method will return true if it is permissible to seek to a
position earlier in the stream than the current value of
getFilePointer().  Some subclasses of
SeekableStream guarantee the ability to seek backwards while
others may not offer this feature in the interest of providing greater
efficiency for those users who do not require it.

 The DataInput interface is supported as well.  This included
the skipBytes() and readFully() methods and a
variety of read methods for various data types.

 Three classes are provided for the purpose of adapting a standard
InputStream to the SeekableStream interface.
ForwardSeekableStream does not allows seeking backwards, but is
inexpensive to use.  FileCacheSeekableStream maintains a copy of
all of the data read from the input in a temporary file; this file will be
discarded automatically when the FileSeekableStream is
finalized, or when the JVM exits normally.
FileCacheSeekableStream is intended to be reasonably efficient
apart from the unavoidable use of disk space.  In circumstances where the
creation of a temporary file is not possible,
MemoryCacheSeekableStream may be used.
MemoryCacheSeekableStream creates a potentially large in-memory
buffer to store the stream data and so should be avoided when possible.

 The FileSeekableStream class wraps a File or
RandomAccessFile. It forwards requests to the real underlying
file.  It performs a limited amount of caching in order to avoid excessive
I/O costs.

 The SegmentedSeekableStream class performs a different sort
of function.  It creates a SeekableStream from another
SeekableStream by selecting a series of portions or "segments".
Each segment starts at a specified location within the source
SeekableStream and extends for a specified number of bytes.  The
StreamSegmentMapper interface and StreamSegment
class may be used to compute the segment positions dynamically.

 A convenience methods, wrapInputStream is provided to
construct a suitable SeekableStream instance whose data is
supplied by a given InputStream.  The caller, by means of the
canSeekBackwards parameter, determines whether support for
seeking backwards is required.

Reads the next byte of data from the input stream. The value byte is
returned as an int in the range 0 to
255. If no byte is available because the end of the stream
has been reached, the value -1 is returned. This method
blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected,
or an exception is thrown.

 A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

Throws:
Returns:    the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the
            stream is reached.

    public abstract int read() throws IOException;

    
Reads up to len bytes of data from the input stream into
an array of bytes.  An attempt is made to read as many as
len bytes, but a smaller number may be read, possibly
zero. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer.

 This method blocks until input data is available, end of stream is
detected, or an exception is thrown.

 If b is null, a
NullPointerException is thrown.

 If off is negative, or len is negative, or
off+len is greater than the length of the array
b, then an IndexOutOfBoundsException is
thrown.

 If len is zero, then no bytes are read and
0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at
least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at end of
stream, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one
byte is read and stored into b.

 The first byte read is stored into element b[off], the
next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read
is, at most, equal to len. Let k be the number of
bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements
b[off] through b[off+k-1],
leaving elements b[off+k] through
b[off+len-1] unaffected.

 In every case, elements b[0] through
b[off] and elements b[off+len] through
b[b.length-1] are unaffected.

 If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of
stream, then an IOException is thrown. In particular, an
IOException is thrown if the input stream has been closed.

 A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

Params:
  • b –     the buffer into which the data is read.
  • off –   the start offset in array b
                  at which the data is written.
  • len –   the maximum number of bytes to read.
Throws:
Returns:    the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
            -1 if there is no more data because the end of
            the stream has been reached.

Reads the next line of text from this stream.  This method successively
reads bytes from the stream, starting at the current stream pointer,
until it reaches a line terminator or the end
of the stream.  Each byte is converted into a character by taking the
byte's value for the lower eight bits of the character and setting the
high eight bits of the character to zero.  This method does not,
therefore, support the full Unicode character set.

 A line of text is terminated by a carriage-return character
('\r'), a newline character ('\n'), a
carriage-return character immediately followed by a newline character,
or the end of the stream.  Line-terminating characters are discarded and
are not included as part of the string returned.

 This method blocks until a newline character is read, a carriage
return and the byte following it are read (to see if it is a newline),
the end of the stream is reached, or an exception is thrown.

Throws:
Returns:    the next line of text from this stream, or null if end
            of stream is encountered before even one byte is read.

Reads in a string from this stream. The string has been encoded
